American Exorcism Male God

```

The Lizard Dragon whirled around, watching warily behind it, as two figures emerged from the midst of the fog, the leader's face cold as frost.

"Good evening, Evil Dragon Empress Yukeni!" Xu Yi called out loudly, seeming very enthusiastic.

He couldn't help but be enthusiastic; at this critical moment, reinforcements had arrived just in time!

Xu Yi didn't forget William and nodded at him; William smiled in response.

After dealing with Emperor Ramses, Yukeni and William rushed here upon noticing someone coming through the gate high in the sky.

The Lizard Dragon's gaze remained fixed on Yukeni, completely disregarding William at his side.

As far as it was concerned, William was just a Common exorcist, posing no real threat.

However, when William let out a bestial roar and entered a half-human, half-demon state, the savage aura assaulting everyone's senses, the Lizard Dragon's expression subtly changed.

The Crow Man stepped out from behind it, standing shoulder to shoulder with the dragon.

Seeing his longtime friend at his side, the Lizard Dragon breathed a sigh of relief; although the opposition had larger numbers, since Xu Yi was seriously injured, the advantage was still theirs.

"Having more people is useless..." the Lizard Dragon said leisurely.

"Oh, is that so?"

A voice answered from within the thick fog.

Three figures strode out from the fog, the leader being Ailan with a katana in his grip, his eyes as sharp as the blade he held.

Lisa sat on the back of the greatly enlarged Black Carp, silent and wordless, yet no one could ignore her, her golden eyes emanating an awe-inspiring authority.

The Ghost Samurai in flaming red armor provocatively stared down the Lizard Dragon; it was none other than his talkative father who had spoken earlier.

The Lizard Dragon was lost for words, Xu Changrong's statement hitting right at the heart.

But this was just the beginning, far from the end.

Shadowy figures emerged from the fog, led by Arturo and the members of the Church, dressed in uniform black, the experts from Boston.

The Lizard Dragon and the Crow Man's moods grew heavy; they were completely surrounded and stood no chance against the force arrayed against them.

Xu Yi took out an Alchemy Revolver from his toy space, loaded only with common Exorcism Bullets, and pulled the trigger.

With the first shot fired, everyone struck together, with a barrage of attacks enveloping the two targets.

After leaving the Gate of Truth, Xu Yi's "communications" finally restored, he used the Ghost Samurai as a medium to contact Xu Changrong. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

The Ghost Samurai, rushing towards the Lizard Dragon, suddenly paused, then changed directions, charging at the Crow Man while silently going into the Phasing state.

The Lizard Dragon and Ghost Samurai struggled to cope; they could barely dodge, let alone counter.

Every person present was an expert among experts, a force powerful enough to effortlessly destroy a small country, now all directed against just two individuals.

A chill green lightning bolt slashed towards the Crow Man, who, to avoid the blade, took on the brunt of Arturo's "Holy Nail", a costly evasion.

The blade came from Ailan, wielding the "Pride" katana, a sword that inherited the ability of the Yasakani no Magatama.

The green lightning could paralyze souls, a nemesis for reincarnation devices; thus, the Crow Man preferred any other attack over being hit by the bolt.

However, Arturo's "Holy Nail" was no less formidable; radiating a terrifying power, the Crow Man was blasted underground, and with a thunderous boom, a deep crater was formed.

The members of the Church and the experts from Boston ceased attacking.

Seeing their assaults were ineffective against the two "iron beasts", they voluntarily took up a support role, jointly crafting a mighty Array, restricting the pair's movements.

So none of the attacks could be taken lightly, even from William, the weakest among them; his "Greed" Foiled Sword possessed a too-strange life-reversing ability.

A golden "Spear of Judgment" fell from the sky, Lisa threw her "Sloth" Spear, able to summon it back at will and thus not worrying about losing it.

The breath of the light that had slain gods made one's blood run cold, the Crow Man struggled to evade but was still hit, his shoulder pierced by the spear, fissuring inch by inch.

Before the Crow Man could breathe a sigh of relief, he was suddenly overcome with a chilling sensation rising from deep within.

Xu Yi gripped the Alchemy Revolver with one hand, aiming straight at the left chest of the Crow Man.

```

He had studied the structure of the Eight-headed Sea Serpent, and with the careful observation he had just made, he was reasonably certain that the Crow Man's left chest must be where the core was located.

The trigger was pulled, and the bullet roared out of the chamber.

It wasn't a Common Exorcism Bullet being fired this time but a Keres Bullet, its tip made of True God's bone charging forth irresistibly.

The Crow Man couldn't dodge; he swung the Scythe of the Reaper in his hand, not to cut down the bullet—he knew that was impossible—but rather slashing toward his own chest.

The moment the scythe touched his body, it transformed into a multitude of metal components, stacking over his left chest to form a sturdy shield.

The bullet collided with the shield, which only held up for a mere two seconds before being penetrated. The bullet embedded itself inch by inch, piercing through the Crow Man's outer armor, and after the energy of the True God's bone was exhausted, the bullet casing became lodged inside.

The Crow Man hadn't yet had the chance to feel relieved when a fiery red figure suddenly pounced from behind—that was the Ghost Samurai.

In fact, when the Ghost Samurai had vanished, the Crow Man had remained on alert, but as lethal attacks followed one after another, he was powerless to react.

The Crow Man's soul suddenly surged with dread because the Ghost Samurai didn't pursue his advantage but instead lunged at his chest.

To prevent it from being lost, he had the black box containing the World Tree attached to his chest and was constantly guarding it.

"The Ghost Samurai was after the World Tree from the very beginning!" The Crow Man suddenly realized.

In truth, Xu Changrong didn't know what the box contained. He had just received a soul transmission from Xu Yi, instructing him to snatch the black box from the other's possession.

The Ghost Samurai wasn't wielding the Demon Blade Red Lotus in his hand, but the Orochi Hammer instead.

As a vast amount of Divinity was infused, the vertical pupil on the Orochi Hammer opened, and the hammer itself glowed with a deep golden-red hue.

Inside the Samurai Armor, flames surged, and the Ghost Samurai erupted with full force, striking the black box hard with the Orochi Hammer.

The black box, crafted from the World Tree, was exceptionally durable and remained undamaged. However, under the enormous force, it was knocked free from the Crow Man's grasp.

The Ghost Samurai dived for the black box.

"No!" The Crow Man was a mix of shock and fury.

He would rather the other be coming for him. Forget this Resurrection Machine—even his soul wasn't as important as this World Tree specimen.

Having endured repeated blows, the Crow Man was in a phase where his old strength had faded and new strength hadn't yet emerged, so he simply had no means to stop it.

Just as the Ghost Samurai was about to seize the black box, a dark shadow suddenly leapt out from the side. The Lizard Dragon slammed into the Ghost Samurai, knocking him away, and clasped the black box.

Half of the Lizard Dragon's body was destroyed, with uncontrolled electrical arcs leaping across it, revealing the terrible cost it must have paid for this dive to save.

Xu Yi inwardly sighed with regret, just a bit more, and he could have captured the World Tree!

He gazed into the Crow Man's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

It seemed to him that he saw a determination within the other's red stone pupils.

"Arturo, take the black box and leave!" the Crow Man suddenly spoke up.

The Lizard Dragon was stunned. "Arturo" was his True Name. In their operations outside, they never used each other's True Names to maintain secrecy.

He was so surprised that he missed the latter part of what the Crow Man, Augustus, had said.

Given their current situation, how could he possibly leave with the black box?

The Crow Man's gaze landed on the knight's Armor not far away. The headless Armor lay there quietly, motionless.

"Augustus, you..." Arturo, the Lizard Dragon, suddenly understood what the other intended and inadvertently called out his True Name.

The Crow Man said nothing; he flung his hand, and the rust-stained knight's Armor flew toward him.

"Stop him!" Xu Yi shouted in rage.

He had in fact been watching the armor on the ground all along. Its terror had left a deep impression on him.

But with both members of the Ring of Destruction already in dire straits, and the knight's Armor still motionless, he had felt somewhat reassured.

He hadn't approached the knight's Armor himself, for fear of triggering a reaction, causing it to suddenly come alive.

Now that the Crow Man had summoned the knight's Armor, he didn't know what the other was planning to do, but it was definitely not going to be anything good.
